    So, instead of just telling you my suggestions, I thought I would enlist @dr_carlos
    [​IMG]
    As you can see, I didn't just make it inform the player of a weapons DPS, but added some other info and reorganized certain elements, lets go one by one shall we?

    DPS

    Something I noticed about newer players is they often seem to ignore attack speed, mostly opting for the weapon that does the most damage. However, this doesn't just benefit them, for older players it's often hard to tell what weapon does more damage unless you check via Wynntils or Wynn Builder.

    Actually getting the DPS is easy, I just averaged the damage, multiplied by attack speed, and then rounded up. One thing to note is DPS doesn't take into account ids or stats, however, that's something that would be hard to accomplish, plus, I'm fairly certain most players will figure that out.

    Attack speed information

    This change is rather simple, next to the attack speed I have a multiplier indicating both the number of attacks a second and the spell damage multipliers. This is something I realized the game never actually informed the player of, so I decided to do so on the item itself.

    Moved Powder Specials

    Finally, I changed something that always confused me, why are the powder abilities listed just under the damage? It would simply be more intuitive to have it listed under powder slots, so it becomes more clear to players what's actually causing the abilities.

    That's really it, it's a small suggestion I suppose, but hopefully you like it.

    Yeah, but over half the value of this is its relevance with new players.
    Most veteran players already know this, so whatever on their part, but that level 2 player who just joined?

    Yeah, displaying base DPS would be a nice step in de-obfuscating how spell damage is calculated, so that players actually have something that they know "Spell Multiplier" acts based off of.
